Hulu’s May lineup includes new documentaries about Black Twitter and a highly controversial reality show experiment, plus one of the best horror movies of 2023 and a Wes Anderson film celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Next month, Hulu is premiering a few documentaries we’re particularly excited about: First up is The Contestant (May 2), which centers on the star of a Japanese reality show who lived alone in a room without clothing or contact with the outside world for over a year, unaware that this experience was being aired on TV. Dropping on May 7 is the National Geographic doc Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story, a cute little tearjerker about a guy who befriends an otter. Finally, on May 9, Hulu is premiering Black Twitter: A People’s History, a three-part docuseries exploring the cultural social media phenomenon through the words and memes of the people who lived it.
The Life Aquatic With Zissou, which turns 20 this year, is hitting the service along with several other Wes Anderson films—The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Hulu’s May highlights also include Birth/Rebirth, one of our favorite horror movies of 2023; Eileen, the recent psycho-thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie; and the series premiere of something called Shardlake, a four-part Tudors-era whodunnit starring Sean Bean, that maybe should’ve been called Who Sharded?
Keep scrolling for everything coming to Hulu in May 2024, with our recs in bold. For more of the latest in streaming, check out our landing page, where you’ll find the best anime on Hulu right now, the best horror movies on Max, and more.
